Drapes in my classic coach
Guys, I'm looking for suggestions on how to fix my original factory style drapes. I prefer these drapes, because they are double thick, with a white side toward the window, with thick fabric toward the interior of the coach. These really help keep the cold out. This issue I'm having has been bugging me for a long while, so here goes. The interior fabric has shrunk up, exposing the white material behind it all along the seams. Both materials have nice hems in them too.

Pick out some wide trim to match and use stitch witchery to iron it on or sew, either way will work.

If you want to switch to blinds you can always go to your local Lowes or Home Depot they seem to have a good selection.

Threw all my drapes and metal blinds in the trash even know they looked brand new. Bought custom woven reed blackout Roman Shades at Lowes for $2,800 and we love them!!!! I had to have a special kind as there was less than 2" of space in the valance!!! Hated installing them.
